Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 294 Psychological Treatment (Bonus Chapter, 10,000 words per day)
As long as you continue your training step by step, becoming a Jonin in the future is almost a certainty. With the powerful characteristics of the Sound Release technique, this is no ordinary Jonin.

Sound Release combined with Silent Killing Technique—a surefire way to crush weaker opponents.

If the two of them can successfully awaken the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, even being an elite Jonin will not be their end goal!

If a family produces a second Ice Release Kekkei Genkai user, they can effectively conceal the source of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

If he weren't so powerful and prestigious, he would have been arrested on trumped-up charges long ago and interrogated about the origin of his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

If multiple members of the Ice Release Bloodline Limit appear in the future, those thieves who covet the bloodline will only assume that it is the hidden bloodline power of the Umino clan if they cannot find the reason.

The only thing to be careful about is that during the period of bone marrow transplantation and modification, we need to prevent him from being captured for dissection and experiments, so that the secrets can be leaked.

Fortunately, by practicing the "Bone Marrow Yang Escape Blood Production Technique," this transformation process can be greatly shortened.

Sasuke Umino already had a plan: after finding an opportunity to transplant bone marrow into a compatible blood relative, this simple yet miraculous technique would be completely shelved.

From then on, the Umino clan styled themselves as a ninja clan that concealed their ice-style bloodline, which not only enhanced their prestige but also deterred the covetousness of certain individuals.

After completely transforming Umino Koko's body, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send her back to Tsunade's side, where she continued to serve as a sidekick and assistant. Even a medical genius like Tsunade thought that Koko had begun to awaken her bloodline, which shows that as long as no problems occurred during the transformation, there would be no risk of exposure.

With Tsunade guiding Xiao Xin, Tobirama would have to be personally supervised. Just as Umino Sasuke learned about the training of the three little fish, birds, and dogs, a familiar yet somewhat aggrieved voice came from the sidelines of the training ground: "Captain..."

Following the sound, Umino Sasuke looked up and saw Koshino, the head of the medical department, standing not far away. Her round face showed obvious fatigue and a hint of disappointment. Her usually bright, crescent-shaped eyes were also drooping. She was wearing a loose-fitting medical ninja uniform, clearly having just finished a heavy workload of medical and clerical work, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Xiao Xiao?" Umino Sasuke gestured for the three children to continue practicing, then walked over. "At this hour, the medical department should be very busy. What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the young but increasingly prestigious captain before her, her lips slightly pursed, as if she had finally found an outlet for her pent-up emotions: "Captain! You have to help me!"

Umino Sasuke teased, "What? Did Ryo start something and then abandon you, finding someone new, or did Do accept your advances?"

"No way!" Xiaoxiao blushed instantly and tried to explain the normal love triangle situation before stating her purpose. "That guy Ryo graduated at the same time as me and is already a Jonin. And Tang-kun inherited your mechanical tools and is also a Jonin now! As for me, I'm still a Special Jonin, and a semi-official ninja!"

Xiaoxiao became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her voice grew louder: "Captain, I've let you down. Am I really that useless? I only have so little chakra, I can't learn advanced lightning release, my taijutsu isn't very good either, and I'm always at the bottom of the team's combat strength... Now I can't even keep up with my old teammates in terms of rank!"

Looking at this commoner disciple who was among the first batch of people he had taken in, Sasuke Umino saw her chubby, pink face filled with frustration and self-doubt. He understood, sighed softly, and patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder, feeling as if he were patting a soft, large-sized cushion.

"Xiao Xiao," Umino Sasuke's tone was unexpectedly calm, even with a hint of approval, "Why do you feel like you've embarrassed me? In my opinion, you did very well, even far exceeding my expectations."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao was immediately stunned, raised her head, and looked over with her big, reddened eyes.

Umino Sasuke began to guide her, "Koshino, to be honest, your ninja talent isn't exactly genius-level. Your chakra reserves are only at the level of an ordinary Chunin, and your combat instincts are also average. But what have you achieved? You're now the head of the medical department of the frontline army in the Land of Rivers, a Special Jonin! Do you know what you've achieved?"

"Is it... is it medical ninjutsu?" Xiaoxiao answered uncertainly.

"That's right, but it's not just that."

Umino Sasuke shook his head slightly, but affirmed, "Your medical ninjutsu level, especially your understanding and application of Water Release: Healing Water Transformation Technique, has reached the level of a Special Jonin. In some aspects, it is no worse than a Senior Medical Jonin. The only thing you lack is chakra, but that is not the most important thing."

He paused, looked into Xiaoxiao's inquisitive eyes, and continued to guide her: "Most importantly, you did something that most medical ninjas, and even many combat jonins, could not do—you soothed the mental trauma of the ninjas on the front lines!"
Xiao Xiao, war brings not only physical scars, but also mental distortion and repression. Under high pressure, how many ninjas become manic, depressed, suffer from insomnia, or even hallucinate?
It was you who, with your patience, your kindness, and your soothing hydrotherapy, listened to their troubles time and time again, washing away their anger and allowing them a moment of respite and peace between the brutal battlefield.

This job may seem insignificant and has a strong clerical nature, but it maintains the morale and stability of the entire unit and is a necessary means to unite the troops.

Its value, in some situations, far exceeds that of a medical ninja saving dozens of wounded soldiers!

Xiaoxiao was a little confused by what Umino Sasuke said, but her eyes gradually lit up: "Really? My job is really that important?"

“Of course!” Sasuke Umino said decisively and with great certainty, “Without a stable rear, even the strongest army will collapse from within. What you are doing is stabilizing the morale of the rear, so you deserve this special Jonin title! In fact, in my opinion, the value of this job is enough to qualify you for the title of Jonin psychologist.”

Hearing the captain's high praise, Xiao Xiao's inferiority complex finally dissipated, but then a new desire appeared, and she said with burning eyes, "Captain, thank you! But, but I still want to be like Lady Tsunade, not only with superb medical skills, but also with strong combat power!"

Tang-kun's ninja talent isn't much better than mine, and he's already a Jonin. I want to be able to keep up with him!

I don't want to be just a clerical special jonin; I want to become a true medical jonin who can fight and heal!

"Captain, you're the best! You'll definitely find a way to help me, right? Just like you helped Tang Jun, you can't show favoritism!"

Looking at the light in Xiaoshi's eyes, a mixture of grievance, resentment, and strong ambition, Umino Sasuke smiled helplessly. This chubby girl is quite clever; she knows how to use Tekudo's example to put him in a difficult position.

He stroked his chin, looked Xiao Xiao up and down at her stocky figure, and fell into deep thought.

Improving Xiaoxiao's strength is indeed a difficult problem.

Born into a commoner family, her chakra reserves are severely insufficient, which is a major weakness that limits her ability to learn advanced ninjutsu and engage in prolonged combat. She also doesn't have any powerful relatives, otherwise they could secretly transplant bone marrow into her to improve her talent and aptitude. As for sealing the tailed beasts, with her physique, she might not even be able to withstand sealing the regeneration core of an ordinary ninja beast.

In terms of combat instincts, they are quite mediocre, and coupled with their massive size, they are destined not to follow an agile path.

If one insists on following Tekudo's "money-driven" approach to mechanical manipulation, it would require investing a massive amount of money. Given Xiaoshino's background, she simply couldn't afford such a massive investment. If she could marry into the Tekudo family, that might be possible. Unfortunately, Tekudo only loves his wife who is a weapon, and he has no interest in the strong-willed Xiaoshino. Only Inuzuka Ryo can truly appreciate her beauty.

Conventional ways to improve combat power are extremely difficult for Xiaoxiao. The only hope is to replicate Tsunade's monstrous strength. With her chakra control and massive size, she does have a certain advantage.

"It's almost impossible for you to have the same strength as Tsunade in the short term."

Sasuke Umino didn't mince words, directly stating the reality. Seeing Xiaoshino's eyes dim instantly, he changed the subject, "However—"

"But what?!"

Xiao Xiao's big, bright eyes lit up instantly, filled with anticipation.

"However, we can try a different approach; there's bound to be one that suits you."

A glint of light flashed in Sasuke Umino's eyes.

"Captain, do you have a solution?" Xiao Xiao asked anxiously.

"Yes, I do have some ideas." Sasuke Umino nodded and asked, "What are your greatest strengths? Strong interpersonal skills, keen emotional perception, precise chakra control, and also—"

His gaze fell on Xiao Xiao's round and large figure, and a strange smile appeared on his lips: "Quite the hefty weight!"

Xiao Xiao: "@#￥%&!"

Captain, there's no need to emphasize the last point, right?

"So, we can start from these directions."

Ignoring Xiaoxiao's resentful gaze, Umino Sasuke began to plan: "As a medical ninja, I will prioritize improving your survivability. I will have Hiruko tailor a lightweight, close-fitting inner armor for you, as well as a heavy armor with super strong defense. Combined with your weight... cough, physique, even if you can't win, you must be able to withstand the fierce attacks of elite Chunin and buy time for your teammates to rescue you."

Your keen emotional perception is an advantage you should leverage. Combined with your chakra control, you can develop or learn mental interference genjutsu, such as the Naraku Sight Technique or the Mist Servant Technique. These are easy-to-learn yet powerful genjutsu, designed to instantly disrupt the mind of a single or small group of enemies, creating opportunities for teammates or interrupting fatal attacks. This doesn't require much chakra, but demands precise control and timing—perfect for you.
